BACKSTREET KILLER
Los británicos Dark Star, son un ejemplo de banda de las que nacieron al calor del movimiento de la NWOBHM, a finales de los setenta, y son un ejemplo más de banda que solo llego a mostrar una mínima parte de lo que su potencial prometía, en esta caso a través de solo dos LP's y un EP entre los años 1980 y 1987. El genuino heavy metal del momento se plasma bien en sus obras y una vez más muestra el estado de ebullición de la escena británica en esos años iniciales de la década de los ochenta, saturada hasta la saciedad que hacía casi imposible a muchas bandas medrar a pesar de su innegable calidad. Hoy dejo en el blog una de las canciones de su debut "Dark Star" de 1981, en concreto "Backstreet Killer" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Lookin' to find an answer, searchin' for a clue,
Why a man pits his life with a gun and a knife and loses,
It's not save to walk the city, he's ridin' high,
She's sitting pretty,
Only he knows the time, only he knows his own crime
(Chorus)
Standing in shadows, searchin' round the seamy places,
But there's not a place for you and me,
So you'd better come on, there's no place here.
Come on! well you mustn't stay here,
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Get away and hide.
His eyes are dark with anger, hate building up inside the man,
There's gonna be a bad sign, their gonna have a bad time too,
She's waitin0 at the station, one lonely girl with a dark invitation,
And there's no denying that she's standin' on the wrong line.
Standing in shadows, searchin' round the seamy places,
But there's not a place for you and me,
So you'd better come on, there's no place here.
Come on! well you mustn't stay here,
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Get away and hide.
What makes a man to think that he has the right to take a life,
What takes him to the brink, and the need to have a sacrifice?
(Solo)
Standing in shadows, searchin' round the seamy places,
But there's not a place for you and me,
So you'd better come on, there's no place here.
Come on! well you mustn't stay here,
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Get away and hide.
